Who Am I?

I was attracted to computers since I was a kid. My first computer was a Pentium 100 with 4MB of RAM. I know that because Age of Empires II required 8 MB and I couldn’t play it. I started using Linux when I was a teenager. I broke my system frequently as I loved to mess with it. Internet and the pain of an unbootable system were my teachers. My first de facto programming experiences happened around that time, fixing trivial bugs and recompiling programs to increase their performance.

The Blog

Posixtronic is a combination of the words posix and positronic. POSIX is a family of standards from the late 80s designed for interoperability between operational systems. It’s old but still most contemporary OSs like Linux, Android, macOS still follow those standards, at least partially, and even Microsoft has it Windows Subsystem for Linux. Positronic is an allusion to the positronic brain, word coined by Asimov, refering to a fictional tech that allowed the robots, in his universe to have intelligence equal/higher than that of humans.
